God’s Timing

I was reading a few days about in Exodus about God’s instructions to Moses for the Passover. What stood out to me was how God was very clear that this meal was to be eaten quickly and in a state of readiness. They were supposed to have their traveling clothes on, bags packed, the bread was unleavened (so no rising time was necessary), all with the intent of getting out of Egypt quickly. Indeed, the very purpose of the meal was to give them fuel for their journey.

This was interesting to me because I tend to like to linger and chat over meals. I like that a meal can be a means through which relationships can deepen. But in the case of the Passover meal, it wasn’t for relationship purposes. There are times that God wants us to get moving, stop stalling & quit lingering. Some seasons are for relationship development and some seasons are for moving forward. Many times, we don’t know beyond one step at a time, what God has down the road. But we must be careful to be obedient to the next step. 🙂
